Question

You are dealt one card from a standard 52-card deck. Find the probability of being dealt a card greater than 5 and less than 10. (Answer in simplest fraction form).

Answer 1

52

Explanation:

The probability of being dealt a card greater than 5 and less than 10 in a standard 52-card deck is 17/156, which can be written as 17/156 = 1/9, or 1/9th, or 11.11%. To compute this, you need to count the total number of cards that are greater than 5 and less than 10, which is 17. You then divide the total number of cards that are greater than 5 and less than 10 by the total number of cards in a standard deck, which is 52.
